The GE washers have made a name due to their reliability and value-addition. These washers have simple yet durable components like the same old-school agitator. However, being durable does not mean a component will not break down. Has your agitator stopped spinning? Well, it is not a new thing since agitators are prone to such issues. The problem has one simple solution i.e. remove the agitator to diagnose it. There is another problem that you need to solve first. How to remove the GE washer agitator? GE washers are manufactured in different forms and shapes. There are several kinds of agitators fixed inside these washers. You should first ascertain the type of agitator and then remove it properly. All these questions are answered below so scroll to know more. How To Remove Agitator From GE Washer? Removing the agitator that has a bolt Unplug your GE washer Unplug your GE washer from the electricity source. This is essential to keep you safe during the agitator removal process. We know that you do not want to experience an electric shock. Unplugging the GE washer ensures you do not suffer an injury when the power button is accidentally pressed. Turning off the circuit breaker is better if you cannot access the power outlet. Remove the cap of the agitator. Once the GE washer is disconnected from the power source, you can shift your attention to removing the agitator. A single metal bolt agitator will have a metal bolt holding it in place. To access it, you should remove the agitator cap placed on top of the agitator. Push the agitator cap up with your hands or use a screwdriver. Make sure that you do not hurt yourself during the process. Agitator caps are made of plastic, so you should also pay attention to the stress you put on them. Glued agitator caps are more vulnerable to breakage. Unscrew the metal bolt. After removing the cap, you will have access to a barrel. Check it to identify the single metal bolt that has fixed the agitator to the GE washer. Use a ratchet to unscrew the metal screw. The screw can be of different shapes in each GE washer model. Select the most appropriate screwdriver to unscrew. The agitator will come out easily once the unscrewing is complete. You need to pull the agitator out. However, if it is stuck, some debris might be stuck at the base. Put the agitator back. Once you have completed the removal process, the next step is to put it back in place. Fix the agitator to the base and put the metal nut where it must be fixed. Tighten the screw to ensure everything is perfectly in place. Put the agitator cap back on the barrel and push it to fix. Operate the washer Plug the GE washer back into the power outlet. See if the agitator is spinning properly. If there is still some problem with the agitator, you should call a technician. Removing the agitator that has no bolt Unplug the GE washer Unplug the GE washer from the power source. If you cannot unplug it, then turn the circuit breaker off. This is to ensure that you do not experience an electric shock. An accidental press of the power button can turn on the machine. This can cause serious injury, so you should be cautious. Open the lid The older GE washer models have no bolts on the agitator. This means you do not need any tool to unscrew it from the base. After knowing this, open the lid of your GE washer. There is no cap on the agitator, so you should proceed with removing the agitator. Remove the agitator Since there is no screw holding the agitator, you should pull it directly. Stabilize your lower body by bending your front leg slightly. Grab the agitator tightly and pull it up. Keep applying the force upward and continue increasing it. Ensure you do not twist or bend it to get it off the shaft at the bottom. If the agitator does not come off, it clearly indicates that it is stuck. You should then try other methods to remove it. Take care of the shaft. A shaft is present under the agitator so that it can spin.

This shaft needs proper lubrication and cares to ensure it does not impair due to friction. Since you have removed them, the agitator and the shaft are exposed. Utilize this opportunity by lubricating the shaft. Apply either grease or petroleum jelly to it. This will help you avoid agitator and shaft issues in the future. Call a technician Having no bolt does not usually mean that the agitator will come out easily. In some models, it is really hard to remove. You should call a professional technician to help you with this. There is a specific technique to pull it upwards, or the agitator might need a tool to pull it out. Whatever the case, you should call a professional to help you get it off. Spending a few is better than purchasing a new agitator. The GE washer agitator is stuck. The agitator of your GE washer can be stuck inside the washing machine simply because of the debris. Due to years of usage, the soap and detergents sit down at the base. This then makes it difficult to pull the agitator out. This section will explain an old-school method to get the stuck agitator out. Submerge the base in hot water. Pour hot water into the GE washer to cover the base. You do not need to initiate a wash cycle as the water dissolves the detergent and soap at the base. Loosening up the debris will make the process a lot easier. Physical force is useful, but why use force when you can chemically hit it? Tie a rope around the agitator. Take a tough rope that is at least two meters long. Fold the rope half in half. Make a loop at the end and tie the loop around the base of the agitator. Ensure the rope fits well under the bottom fin of the agitator. Pull it up to tighten it more. Tightening the rope is a critical thing to do since this will provide you with a firm grip later on. Tie loops around a thick plank. Get a thick plank that is at least five to six feet long. Place the plank on the GE washer with both ends on the sides. Put the two ends of the rope over the wooden plank and tie it firmly to ensure a firm connection. Lift the plank Grab one end of the plank and lift it. Keep lifting the plank from the selected end, and the agitator will ultimately rise from the base. This will require immense pressure, so you are mentally and physically ready to apply it. Precaution Make sure that the agitator is not bolted to the base. This method includes applying physical force to pull out the agitator. Pulling out a bolted agitator forcefully can damage either the agitator or the interior of your GE washer. Tie all the knots firmly so that the plank does not slip. If you cannot lift the agitator after applying force, call a technician to get it done. Why is my GE washer agitator not working? Debris or object blocking it. A problem you will often face with your agitator is an object getting stuck in it. This object can be anything. It can be a piece of clothing, thin fabrics, or stuff falling from the pocket. Check the base of the agitator to find anything that is stuck. If you cannot find anything, remove the agitator to inspect it thoroughly. Problematic lid switch There is a lid switch installed right under the lid. When pressed, this switch sends a signal to the motor, which starts operating. A fault in this switch will mean that the agitator will misbehave. A problematic lid switch should be checked with a multimeter. You should press it with your fingers to see if it moves properly. A fault in the lid switch can be repaired by calling a technician. Faulty belt There is a belt that connects the motor and shaft. This belt ensures that the shaft rotates when your motor is functioning. It tends to get loose when used regularly. If the belt is loose, it is understood that it will be hard to grip the motor and shaft. This will stop the shaft from rotating even if the motor is running. When you find out the belt is loose, you should find a way to tighten it up. However, the best thing to do is to replace the belt. Call the technician to help you with a replacement.

Bad motor If you find no fault in anything and your agitator still does not work, there is a high chance that the motor is bad. A faulty motor cannot generate enough power for the agitator to spin. You should call a technician and ask him to replace or repair the motor, if possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr4GzTJBho0 Conclusion Agitators are a critical part of top load washers. The same is true for GE washers. An agitator is normally a very durable component since it is positioned with stability. They are fixed firmly to the machine. However, tightly fixed components have one big problem. You will have trouble removing them. Whether your GE washer agitator is fixed with or without a metal bolt, we have explained the method to remove both from the washer. The methods that we have explained in our article require care. You should make sure that you understand everything that we have explained. Also, it is better to call a technician for help if you do not know what to do.

Are you facing problems with your GE refrigerator motherboard? The control panel is technically the motherboard, as it is a circuit with all the right connections to make your fridge work. GE refrigerators are one of the most reputed brands in the industry, so you cannot expect them to build a problematic appliance. However, it is all upon your usage pattern. Electric appliances are prone to malfunctions. There is no definite period or reason behind a specific problem. If the display of your fridge or any other component is not working, there can be a problem with the control panel. There are two control panels in the fridge. The main control panel is at the back of the fridge, while there is a secondary control panel called the dispenser control panel (located beside the dispenser). All the components in your fridge are connected to these control panels. A problem in your fridge will have some connection with the control panel, which is why you should know how to reset it. How to reset the GE refrigerator motherboard? Control panel/control board reset The control panel reset is one of the most common fixes to malfunctions. The basic reset is pretty simple to perform. The procedure is as under: Unplug the refrigerator from the power source. If the power cable is not easily accessible, turn off the circuit breaker to ensure the fridge is not connected to a power supply. Let the fridge rest for around 30 to 60 seconds. This will allow the fridge to erase the temporary memory. All the temporary glitches will be removed, and the control panel will be reset to the default settings. Replug the refrigerator back into the power source. The reset is complete, and you will need other things to do. The voltage check Control board at the back If the touch panel is not responding and there is no light depicting a dead control panel, you should check the voltage supply. The main control board is located at the back of the refrigerator. Check the bottom right of the back of your fridge. Unscrew the lid fixed at the back. Connect your multimeter to the control board to check the input and output voltage. Make sure that the voltage is between 12 and 14. A low voltage would mean that the board is not producing enough voltage. Broad below the display Once you have checked and confirmed that the rear board is fine, the next thing to check is the board under the digital display. Grab the control panel by placing three fingers of both hands below it. Pull the control panel from the bottom, and the circuit will come out. See the wire connections on the back of the panel to ensure all the wires are connected properly. Connect a multimeter to the board to check the voltage. The voltage must be between 12 and 14 volts. Once you have checked it, proceed to the ice maker. You will find a shutdown button inside the ice maker. Turn it on and off three times consecutively. This will complete the whole procedure. Why does a GE refrigerator control panel malfunction? Knowing the solution to a problem is always satisfying. However, one must understand what the problem is. The GE refrigerator control panel might have the following issues: Glitches The glitches are one of the most common and simple kinds of errors that you will come across. GE refrigerators are electric appliances; they have components that are prone to malfunction from time to time. A glitch does not mean that the control panel is faulty. It depicts that the panel is going through a small operating inconsistency. This can be resolved by simply unplugging the fridge and resetting control panel. No power supply Another reason why your control panel is unresponsive can be the inconsistent or no power supply at all. This happens when the electricity voltage is not what the fridge needs. A power supply cut-off will stop your GE refrigerator from performing certain basic functions like water dispensing. Demo mode The demo is not a problem but rather a mode integrated by the manufacturer.

The demo mode is tailor-made for a showroom display. All the lights turn on in this mode, and other functions are turned off. This feature is also very handy while repairing the refrigerator. When the demo mode is turned on, you cannot render commands to the control panel. All the functions are disabled so that you might confuse the demo mode with a control panel malfunction. The "showroom mode" on the control panel screen indicates that your appliance is in demo mode. Control board malfunction (dispenser) There is a control board with the dispenser. You interact with it every day because it is located under the display. This control board is an electric circuit vulnerable to malfunctions and short circuits. These issues can render the whole board useless and unresponsive. On the contrary, the board might be partially unresponsive. In this case, a few buttons will work while others will be dead. Besides the electric malfunction, the dispenser control panel might be depreciated due to long usage. Main control board Like the dispenser control board, the main control board is also an electric circuit with all the necessary components. You should make sure that you check this board in the end. A fault in the main control board can influence the whole fridge. The reset did not solve the problem. Did the reset not solve the problem that you faced with your control board? Well, there are other things that you can try. These solutions are summarized as under: Check the power cable, as a worn-out power cord can be why the control board is not working. Change the power cable to ensure an uninterrupted flow of electricity. Perform a voltage check on both control boards to check if the electric current is normal. Interrupted or fluctuating electric current will usually cause the control panel to misbehave. Try exiting the demo mode. The method varies from model to model. Check your user manual or search the internet to find the right procedure. If the dispenser control panel is not working and you have tried everything, then go with replacing the dispenser control panel. If the dispenser control panel is not faulty and everything else is fine, then replace the main control panel. The wiring in the fridge door serves as the connection between the dispenser control board and the main control board. If both boards are fine, but there is still a disconnection between them, inspect the door wiring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dggT7h2DvEg Conclusion The motherboard or the control board is considered the brain of a refrigerator. It is an electric board that is connected to all the components. This board transmits signals to the components to operate as required. All the minor problems, such as small error codes and uncharacterized functionality, can be handled by merely resetting the control board. The resetting procedure is pretty simple as we have mentioned above. For other issues that do not get resolved with a reset, you should find other, more effective solutions. However, your understanding is critical thing. If you do not understand the problem or the solution, you should consider calling a professional technician.

A Frigidaire dishwasher is a kitchen gadget that automatically cleans utensils and dishes with water and detergent. Many dishwasher parts work together to deliver a complete and successful cleaning cycle. The essential components of a Frigidaire dishwasher are the Dishwasher Control Panel, Dishwasher Tub, Spray Arms, Drain Pump, and Heating Element. The Frigidaire dishwasher not draining is a common problem that can cause the appliance to fail. The water and food particles are left in the bottom of the dishwasher; if it doesn't drain correctly can cause odors, mold growth, and even damage to the device. If you know how the dishwasher may operate and work, troubleshooting and fixing issues will be easy. We care about you, so we bring this blog for you to solve your problem. Let's find out more about it. Troubleshooting for a Frigidaire Dishwasher  Here, we'll discuss the four basic problems that stop your Frigidaire dishwasher from draining. Let's take a closer look. Whether the Drain Hose is Blocked Problem You've checked that your Frigidaire dishwasher is not draining correctly and think the drain line is blocked. Don't worry; you can resolve the issue with the proper tools and learning. Let's first examine the operation of a drain hose. The drain hose is a flexible tube that links the dishwasher tub to the drain pump. It is responsible for draining the unclean water out of the dishwasher. The drain hose is sturdy and resistant to heat, chemicals, and other factors. Solution Follow the following steps to check and fix the blocked drain hose problem: To avoid mishaps, turn off the dishwasher and disconnect the power cord. Find the drain pipe under the dishwasher, and check it for damage, kinks, or clogs. Use a straight coat hanger or a plumbing snake to clear any clogs. Be careful not to harm the hose or other dishwashing parts. You might need to completely replace the drain tube if the blockage is difficult to remove. After performing the above steps, reassemble the dishwasher if it works correctly. It's essential to remember that a blocked drain hose may result from several things, including food particles, soap scum, or hard water build-up. Use a high-quality dishwashing detergent, run the hot water before starting the dishwasher cycle, and routinely clean the filter to avoid future blockages. If Dishwasher Filter is Blocked Problem Have you recently noticed food particles and residue on your plates after using your Frigidaire dishwasher? If so, a blocked dishwasher filter may be the reason. Food particles and other waste may gather during washing; a dishwasher filter captures these. But the filter may clog over time, and the dishwasher may stop working correctly. Solution Here are some tests you can take to investigate and resolve the issue if you think a clogged filter is the cause: To avoid accidents, turn off the dishwasher and disconnect it from the power source. Find the dishwasher filter; it will be near the tub's base. Depending on the model, twist the filter in the opposite direction or pull it out. Thoroughly wash the filter in warm water with soap, removing any remaining accumulation or dirt using a brush or sponge. To remove any particles if the filter is still clogged, soak it in warm water and vinegar for 30 minutes. When you clean the filter thoroughly, reinstall it in the dishwasher and restart it to check how well it works. Note: It's important to remember that do not wipe out or reuse the dishwashing filter. Depending on the manufacturer's instructions, some filters are disposable and must be changed frequently. Malfunctioning Drain Pump: How do I test my dishwasher drain pump? Problem If you do not find any obstruction in the drain tube after clearing it, is your Frigidaire dishwasher still having trouble? If so, then it may be a broken drain pump issue. If your drain pump needs to be in order, your dishes may come out dirty, or the dishwasher may leak. The drain pump will remove the dirty water from it.

Solution If you feel that there is a problem with the drain pump, then follow the following suggestions: First, turn off the dishwasher and unplug it from the circuit. You will find a drain pump near the drain hose at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Check it properly. Is there any debris or sign of damage like leaks, cracks, or any food particles? If you find any such issue, you must change the drain pump. If you find the pump in excellent condition, it may be an electrical fault. Check electric connections are accurate. By using a multimeter, check the motor and solenoid. If any of these parts are broken, then change them. After resolving the above issues, reassemble the dishwasher and ensure proper drainage. Drain Valve may be Damaged Or Have a Fault. Problem Now you have checked the drain pump and cleaned the filter and hose but still found the drain is malfunctioning. Then it may be some issue with the defective or damaged valve. The drain valve controls how much water leaves the dishwasher; if it is broken, the dishwasher will not drain. Solution Let's have a look at the suggestions given below to resolve the issue of the drain valve. It will be helpful to you. Please switch off the dishwasher and remove it from the power source to prevent electric shock. You will find a drain valve near the drain pump in the dishwasher's back. Check the invisible sign of leakage, cracks or damage, or debris in the valve. If you find any above issues, then you have to replace them. Check the valve's electrical connections and ensure they are working correctly. Use a multimeter to check the solenoid of the drain valve. If you find some issue in the solenoid, then replace it. Once you've identified and fixed the problem, put the dishwasher back together and test it to ensure it drains. Regularly Clean the Dishwasher Filter: Where is the drain filter on a Frigidaire dishwasher? Depending on the model, the drain filter's location can change; however, it is usually found near the bottom of the dishwasher tub, next to the spray arm. Regularly clean the filter to keep your Frigidaire dishwasher operating safely and effectively. The dishwasher filter gathers food particles and other waste to prevent drain clogs and inadequate dishwashing. Regular filter cleaning will help you avoid expensive repairs and increase the life of your dishwasher. You must clean its filter once a month. Using a High-Quality Dishwasher Detergent  Your Frigidaire dishwasher will work significantly better using a high-quality detergent. Special detergents are made to dissolve rapidly and completely, leaving your dishes spotless and residue-free. They also prevent the accumulation of mineral deposits and soap scum, which can harm your dishwasher over time. Run Hot Water Before Starting the Dishwasher Cycle.

Make sure the refrigerator is level by using a spirit level. Tips for reducing Samsung refrigerator noise Regular maintenance It is essential to clean and maintain Samsung refrigerators regularly to avoid future noise issues. Ensure the refrigerator's interior is spotless and free of spills, food waste, and dust. It will keep the condenser coils from clogging and put less stress on the compressor, making it run more quietly. Defrosting the freezer is also necessary to avoid ice build-up, which can annoy or harm the fan motor. Proper placement of the refrigerator Place and install the fridge properly so that there is enough room around it for proper airflow, that it is level, and that it is not near any heat sources. Although this might heighten vibration and noise levels, avoid cramming the refrigerator into a small space.

Hi guys! You are lucky if you have a Kenmore Elite refrigerator. It is worth having it at home because it works so smoothly that you are satisfied. Nowadays, a refrigerator has become a necessity for every household. It keeps food and beverages cool and helps preserve them for extended periods. However, refrigerators can also experience problems and malfunctions like any other appliance. Some issues can be easily fixed with basic troubleshooting techniques, while others may require professional assistance. Don’t put your head on your knees if your Kenmore elite refrigerator is not cooling. We are here for all your problems. We love you, and we care about your appliances. Let us diagnose the root of the fault of why your Kenmore refrigerator is not cooling. There are several reasons your refrigerator may not be cooling properly; we'll review them individually. Causes of Kenmore Elite Refrigerator not cooling. Here we will discuss six common issues that may cause refrigerator cooling: Evaporator Fan Frosted Over Damper Control Malfunction Defrost Thermostat Burnt Compressor Start Relay Failed Compressor Failed Sealed System Freon Leak Let's discuss them thoroughly one by one and search for a solution. The fan on the evaporator is frosty. The evaporator fan is the main component that keeps the freezer cold. If the evaporator is a break, the freezer is not working correctly. If this component frosted over too much, the motor inside the fan fails to work, resulting in inadequate cooling for frozen foods you face. It's important to note that a few Kenmore Elite Refrigerators have two evaporator fans, one in the freezer and the other in the refrigerator section. If the appliance's single evaporator fan fails to work, the refrigerator will not receive cold air; it causes temperatures to rise gradually until the door is opened, at which point they will immediately increase. If the appliance has more than one evaporator fan, then it will not happen. Interestingly, the freezer may stay cold even if the evaporator fan has a problem or stops functioning. If the evaporator fan is faulty, it must be changed immediately. Damper Control Issues Check the damper control of your Kenmore elite refrigerator; it may be broken. The damper control regulates the amount of cold air that flows from the freezer into the fridge. If it is damaged, too little or too much cold air may enter the refrigerator so that fridge cooling may increase or affect the temperature control. To diagnose the fault, you try to adjust the temperature setting; if it makes a difference, then well and good. Otherwise, change the damper control to maintain the proper temperature in the refrigerator. Burned Defrost Thermostat Another problem that can stop the cooling of a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator is a burned defrost thermostat. The defrost thermostat controls the refrigerator's temperature and ensures it doesn't get too hot. The fridge stops functioning completely if this thermostat burns out. The food in the refrigerator will rot and be wasted, which can be a severe problem. It would help if you changed the defrost thermostat to resolve this issue. Please remove the wires and clips holding it, and change the burnt thermostat with the new one. Connect the wire and clips with the new thermostat properly. It's also important to note that you should check the defrost heater and defrost timer while replacing the defrost thermostat. These components work together to regulate the temperature in the refrigerator. If any of them are not working, it can cause the defrost thermostat to burn out quickly. After checking all these components, you can ensure that your Kenmore Elite Refrigerator works correctly and won't experience any issues shortly. The compressor start relay has failed. If your Kenmore elite refrigerator is not cooling, it may be the reason for the failure of the compressor start relay. The compressor, the main

element that pumps the refrigerant throughout the system to chill the refrigerator, is started by the start relay. If the start relay fails, the compressor does not start, and the refrigerator will stop cooling. Listening to a humming sound or feeling vibrations near the compressor means it is not working correctly. You'll need to replace the compressor start relay to fix this issue. Disconnect power to the fridge and access the compressor. You will find here the start relay; remove it from the compressor. It would help if you changed the compressor start relay to resolve this problem. The refrigerator's electricity must be turned off to reach the compressor during the replacement operation. Find the start relay, which is usually close to the compressor, and remove it. Once you remove the faulty start relay, replace it with a new one and reconnect the wires. Reconnect power to the refrigerator and turn it on to see if the compressor starts running. If the compressor begins running, the issue is resolved, and your refrigerator should start cooling again. But it is better to take a professional technician's help in case of any part of the compressor. Failure of the compressor The compressor is the heart of a refrigerator's cooling system. If it fails, your refrigerator won't be able to cool properly. The compressor's job is to compress the refrigerant and circulate it through the coils in the evaporator and condenser. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the inside of the refrigerator as it evaporates in the evaporator coils and releases that heat as it condenses in the condenser coils. There are several reasons for compressor failure. It could be due to electrical, mechanical, or refrigerant leaks. A compressor that has failed due to a refrigerant leak will typically make a lot of noise and may also leak oil. A compressor that has failed due to mechanical problems may also make a lot of noise and stop working. A compressor that has failed due to electrical problems may not make any noise, but it won't be able to compress the refrigerant properly. You must contact a professional technician to replace your compressor if it may have failed. Replacing a compressor is a difficult and expensive procedure best handled by a qualified expert. Seal System Freon Leak A Freon leak in your Kenmore Elite Refrigerator can cause severe problems for the fridge and the food inside. Freon, a coolant, keeps the refrigerator compartment constantly cool by converting the liquid to cool air in the expansion chamber. If your refrigerator is not cooling correctly and you have checked all of its issues besides the freon leak system, a refrigeration line may have been damaged, causing a Freon leak. If the pipes are in good condition, an overflowing drain pan could be the issue. First, disconnect the power and remove all contents from the fridge to check for an overflowing drain pan. Then, tip the refrigerator slightly forward and remove the screws that hold the base pan together. Be careful when removing the pan; you could accidentally sever or damage the refrigeration lines, causing more leaks. It is advised to leave the drain pan removal to the experts if it sounds like a difficult task. In any case, it's critical to identify the issue and pinpoint it as quickly as you can so that you can fix it. While some issues with your Kenmore Elite Refrigerator can be resolved by replacing parts, more complex replacements or repairs should always be left to professionals. Contact your local refrigeration expert and schedule an appointment if you need help. Remember, your refrigerator is an essential appliance you want to last a long time. Every part that makes it work must be in good working order. Checking on the fridge periodically to make sure temperatures are just right is also a good practice. The sooner you catch a problem with your refrigerator, the better. Conclusion A Kenmore Elite refrigerator that is not cooling might be a stressful issue.

However, you can get your refrigerator back to working correctly by identifying the issue and following the necessary steps. The following six frequent problems can stop a refrigerator from cooling: a broken compressor start relay, a burned defrost thermostat, damper control problems, freon leaks, a broken condenser fan, and a broken evaporator fan. It's necessary to follow the manufactures instructions and practice the caution required to fix these problems. While you can perform certain repairs independently, leaving more complicated repairs or replacements to the experts is preferable. Regular maintenance and inspections of your refrigerator can help prevent these issues from occurring in the first place. You can increase your Kenmore Elite Refrigerator's lifespan and ensure it runs as efficiently as possible by being proactive and caring for problems as they arise.

The dishwasher in your kitchen must not leak as this will make it a lot messy. It is annoying to soak water from the floor whenever you see a leakage. A puddle on the floor can also cause stains or cracks on the floor. Despite so many problems, you should not curse the dishwasher and find a solution. Most of the time leakage is caused by a blockage at various components of the dishwasher. You should try diagnosing the appliance and solving the problem that is causing the dishwasher to leak. We have compiled some very common reasons behind the leakage of water from the bottom of your dishwasher. All these methods are simple to apply so that you can diagnose the problem. The solutions to these problems are do-it-yourself. It is always better to check things yourself and try fixing them before calling a technician. Dishwasher leaking from the bottom of the door Air gaps Problem The air gaps are installed inside the dishwashers to make sure that you can link the dishwasher drainage system to that of the sink. This simple yet effective component ensures that the water flows in the right direction and there is no backward flow. It works like the valves in your heart. An air gap ensures that the dirty water flowing from your dishwasher to the outside does not flow back. It also prevents the water coming from the sink to enter the dishwasher. Your dishwasher might not have an air gap installed. Even if you have one at your disposal, even then you will need to find it. The best place to find an air gap is the back of your sink. Search for a stainless steel cylinder near the faucet. If the air gap is blocked then the water flow mechanism of your dishwasher will get disturbed. As a result, the water will find a way to get out so it will find another route i.e. the door of your dishwasher. Solution Once you know that the air gap is faulty, you have no other choice but to fix it. Fixing an air gap is pretty simple. It will include the following steps. Unscrew the air gap shell from the back of your sink. Check if there is any residual food particle stuck inside the air gap or the shell. Also, inspect the inside of the pipe connected to the air gap. If you find anything stuck inside the pipe then remove it. Screw the components back from where you have unscrewed them. Door gasket Problem In order to make sure that your dishwasher is watertight and leakage free, the manufacturers tend to install a rubber seal at the edges of the door. This rubber strip runs along the edges and has the capability to stop water from seeping through a small opening in the door. This rubber seal is called the door gasket. Door gaskets tend to get damaged and torn with time. If this happens then the water will leak from the door of your dishwasher. There might be cracks in the door gasket due to a variety of reasons. One of the most common reasons is that it gets too old. You should take care of it or else it will get brittle. Solution If there is dirt accumulated on the door gasket then you should wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in warm water. However, if the door gasket is already damaged and tearing away then you should consider replacing it with a new one. A door gasket is not that expensive and the installation technique is also very simple. You need to perform the following steps: Open the door of your dishwasher to get access to the door gasket. Remove the gasket from the door by pulling it. Carefully fit the new gasket in the groove. Check if the door closes properly. Also, do a test run to see if the issue has been resolved. Type of detergent Problem You need to use the right detergent to make sure that your dishwasher does not leak. People often do not agree with what we have just mentioned. However, it is true that using dish soap in a dishwasher instead of dishwasher detergent will cause the water to spill out of the door. Both dish soap and dishwasher detergent have the same purpose.

You might argue that if the purpose is the same then why do we prefer one over the other? The main difference between the two substitutes is the amount of lather produced. Dish soap has a high lather production which is not the ideal thing to have when it comes to dishwasher consumption. However, the dishwasher detergent provides you with the same cleaning power at a low lather formation. Any excess lather that the dish soap produces has nowhere to go. Considering this, it will seep through the gasket and fall on the floor. Solution The solution to this problem is simple. You should use dishwasher detergents that are efficient in cleaning but produce less lather. However, if you do not have dishwasher detergent at your disposal then you should go with dish soap and try the following: Fill three-quarters of the detergent dispenser installed inside the dishwasher with soda. Add a few drops of dish soap to it. The dish soap will clean the dishes efficiently. On the other hand, the soda will reduce the lather formation. Soda does not restrict the cleansing capability of the dish soap. Drainage system Problem Does your dishwasher leak regularly from the bottom of the door? If yes, then the main reason behind this must be a blockage in the drain of the dishwasher. The dishwasher drain might be blocked with food pieces or other debris that gets accumulated over time. The door and the gasket, as we have already mentioned, can restrict the flow of water (other than through the drain). However, this restriction is not absolute. It will get overpowered by the water getting accumulated inside the dishwasher due to the blockage in the drain. It will explode one day or the other so it is better to clean the drain as soon as possible. Solution To clean the drain of the dishwasher, you should perform the following steps: Turn off the dishwasher to make sure that you remain safe during the process. Remove the bottom rack to inspect the drain. Remove the cylinder and check it for any debris. Use tools like a drain snake or other hooked wires to pull a large chunk of food from the pipe or the portion where your fingers would not reach. Going further to the places where even the wire would not reach, you should add soda and vinegar solution to get rid of the blockage. A couple of tablespoons of both chemicals will be enough. Vinegar is a vigorous chemical substance that will eliminate all the blockages in no time. Inlet valve Problem The inlet valve is a critical component in all those electric appliances that run on a water supply. This valve allows the water to enter and the flow is controlled either automatically or manually. In most dishwashers, the inlet valves automatically pour water into the washing compartment. If the inlet valve gets loose or damaged then the water supply will not get stopped. This will increase the water in the dishwashing compartment hence making the gasket vulnerable to seepage. A puddle will then be formed on the floor. Solution An inlet valve is pretty simple to check but the installation and repair are very technical. Following these steps to solve the problem: To check the inlet valve, start a wash cycle on your dishwasher. Open the door amidst the session. The inlet valve should stop the inflow of water when the door is open. However, if you see the water flowing then the valve is damaged. You will need to either repair or replace the inlet valve. Replacement or repair of an inlet valve is not easy. You should hire a technician to help you with it. Float and float switch Problem An important component inside most modern dishwashers is the float. Float is a piece of equipment installed inside the dishwasher that regulates the levels of water inside the washing compartment. There is a float and float switch assembly governing the whole mechanism. When water fills inside a dishwasher, the flood rises with a rise in the level of water.

When the float goes up to the maximum level then it will hit the float switch. Once the float switch is hit, it transfers signals to the inlet valve to not let any more water inside the dishwasher. A faulty float will cause a lot of trouble. When the float or the float switch is damaged, the water level will increase but the float mechanism will not be able to generate the relevant signal to stop the inflow of water. This will then cause the water to overflow and a puddle will ultimately form below the door. Solution You should first start by checking if the float mechanism is actually working. Connect a multimeter on either side of the float. If the multimeter beeps then the float is operating. If it does not then it is useless. Once you have determined that the float is not functioning, replace it with a new one. Hire a technician to make life easier for you. The float replacement is tricky so you should not do it yourself. Spray arm Problem The spray arm is located at the base of the washing compartment inside the dishwasher. It has several tiny holes through which the water is ejected and then sprayed on the dishes. A blocked spray arm can cause a lot of problems. One of the main issues that it can cause is the leakage of water from the door. A spray arm can be blocked by food particles or the lather formed by detergents. Solution If the openings on the spray arm are blocked then the solution is pretty simple. You should clean them with the help of a toothpick or a pin. However, you should turn the dishwasher off for safety. Other than this, if the whole spray arm is not operating then you should replace it. It is a simple exercise to perform. Unscrew the old spray valve from the dishwasher. Screw the new one in its place. You will not need a technician in this case. Avoid the dishwasher door leakage Anything that is done is done. However, you should take steps to avoid dishwasher door leakage in the near future. These steps are simple but not taken care of at the right time. Make sure that you weekly check the drain, air gap, and other components for debris accumulation. Remove bigger chunks of food from the crockery before loading them in the dishwasher. Pay attention to the door alignment and the condition of the door gasket. Use detergents specifically made for dishwashers. Check the dishwater regularly for a consistent water flow. Conclusion All the things that we have mentioned in our article are enough to let you know what the problem is with your dishwasher. Moreover, we have tried to keep the solution to these problems precise and simple to make sure that you can perform them with ease. It is always better to check everything yourself and try solving the problem on your own. If it does not work then comes the time to call a technician. This article is a complete package that will remove the fear of dishwasher leakage from your heart. Make sure that you follow each step and pay attention to the hints that the leakage is giving. We can assure you that your dishwasher will need fewer repairs after you act on what we have advised. A dry kitchen is always the most hygienic and neat place to prepare food.

Have you been painting your school project with spray paint and mistakenly painted the concrete floor? Did your children paint your walls with spray paint? No matter what the case is, spray paints are a pain in the head. They are difficult to get rid of. Concrete is a porous material that has small openings on its surface. The openings let the spray molecules and pigments fill them. Spray paints are also developed with the objective to make them more sticky and adhesive. If the spray paint is fresh, you can just wipe it immediately to reduce damage. However, dried-out spray paints are difficult to remove. The removal of these paints is no doubt difficult but that does not mean that you cannot remove them. There are many products developed on the market that can solve your issue. These products include graffiti remover, acetone, and WD40. Other than these, there are other methods available at your disposal as well. These methods allow you to remove the spray paint with the help of simple tools and accessories. How to remove spray paint from concrete Pressure washer Pressure washers are getting common these days as people know their utility. You can use it to remove spray paint from various concrete surfaces. It is the most effective way to get rid of the paint but not everyone can afford it. The pressure washer is a portable but heavy machine that costs a lot for the power that it produces. This is one of the main reasons why people do not recommend pressure washers. Most people go for more cost-effective substitutes. However, if you can purchase it then there is no better way to do this job. A pressure washer is readily available on the market. You can either purchase it or lease it from machinery stores. If you are planning to use a pressure washer for just cleaning the spray paint then you should lease it. You will need a manual to operate the pressure washer. If you do not have a manual at your disposal then consult a YouTube tutorial. For those who are already familiar with how the pressure washer is operated, select the sweeping mode and you are food to go. You can add hot water to the pressure washer to make the removal more effective. If the paint is stubborn then you should add trisodium phosphate to form a cleaning solution. Trisodium phosphate forms an alkaline mixture with water to make removal easier. There are several things that you should check before operating a pressure washer: The power of your pressure washer should be between 2000 to 3000 PSI. Inspect the concrete surface and the nearby fittings. If they are fragile or physically deteriorated then avoid using a pressure washer on them. Wear all necessary safety gear and take precautionary measures to keep yourself safe. A narrow jet is great for cleaning but it must not be too narrow as well. A 15-degree ejection angle is the most suitable option. Keep repeating the procedure if the paint does not wash off. Vinegar Vinegar can be used to clean the spray paint off the concrete surface. It is a cheap method to serve this cause. It does not damage the environment. Moreover, excess vinegar remaining after the cleaning process can be used somewhere else. It is better than other corrosive chemicals that damage the environment and have limited use in the household. Using vinegar to remove the spray paint from the concrete surface will include the following steps: Clean the dirt off the surface to make sure that you do not create an unnecessary mess. Pour vinegar into a pot and heat it on medium flame. This will heat it sufficiently without boiling it. Warm vinegar is more soluble and reactive than colder one. Let the vinegar rest for around 15 to 20 minutes. It will react and the surface will get bubbled. Once enough bubbles are formed, scrub the paint. Soak a cloth in vinegar and rub the remaining spray paint traces. Wash the surface with water and wipe the remaining diluted vinegar. Dish soap

Dish soap is another substitute for cleaning the spray paint from the concrete surface. It is not that effective when removing adhesive paint. However, there are several other benefits of dish soap. It is easily available in the household. The cost is not that high and you can use it somewhere else to clean. Using dish soap can get laborious as more scrubbing is required. You should not use it if the area to clear is large. The whole cleaning procedure consists of the following steps: Heat water in a pot and wait until it comes to a boil. Turn off the stove and mix dish soap in the water. Scrub the spray paint surface before applying the dish soap solution. Remove the scrubbed paint remnants. Pour the dishwasher solution on the spray paint and scrub it until it is removed. Use a high-pressure garden hose to remove the remaining spray paint particles. Solvents and chemicals There are numerous chemicals available on the market that can be used as a spray paint remover. These chemicals are often very expensive and can be hazardous at times. However, these chemicals are very simple to use and the removal process is very efficient. One such chemical is Trisodium phosphate and here are the steps to use this chemical: Wash the paint surface to remove the unwanted dirt particles. Apply a thick layer of trisodium phosphate on the paint's surface. Make sure that the whole surface is covered. Let the trisodium phosphate rest for 4 to 5 hours on the surface. It will dissolve the paint and do its job by reacting with it. Scrub the spray paint and the surface will be clean. If there is anything else remaining on the surface then remove it with water and brush. Acetone Acetone is usually used in nail polish remover. This chemical effectively removes all sorts of paints including spray paint. This can be a very costly option because it is expensive. You should not use it on a large surface area because it will put a lot of burden on your budget. You also need to handle it with care as concentrated acetone can cause damage to your body. Acetone cleaning has the following steps: Wash all the dirt sitting on the surface. Also, scrub the paint and wash it with soap solution. Wipe and dry the surface once again. Pour acetone into a metallic container. Wear gloves and a mask whilst handling acetone. Start applying it on the spray paint surface with a brush. The paint will peel off in a few minutes. Remove the peeled remnants. Wash the concrete surface with soap solution and water. Graffiti remover Graffiti remover is one of the most common solutions to getting rid of unwanted spray paint on walls and other concrete surfaces. Graffiti removers are used by state agencies to clean public walls. Graffiti and spray paints have the same composition overall. The usage method is as under: Wash the concrete surface with a cloth to get rid of unwanted dirt. Apply the graffiti remover on the spray paint surface and make sure that you have covered it all. Scrub the paint surface with a hard brush. Go in circles to make scrubbing more effective. Wash the concrete surface with hot water to make sure that the remnants are cleared. WD40 WD40 is usually used in machine-intensive factories where the workers have to deal with grease and rust. This highly efficient stain remover works not only on grease but also on other things like spray paints. You can remove the spray paint with this product but only when the layer of paint is thin. If the spray paint has penetrated the concrete surface then WD40 would not work. The process includes: Wash the surface with a soap solution to remove dust. Apply WD40 on the paint surface. Let it rest on the surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Scrub it with a hard brush to remove the paint. Make sure that no paint remains on the surface. Wash the concrete with soap and water to make it shiny. Muriatic acid If nothing else on our list works then you should go for muriatic acid.

It is an extremely dangerous acid that can be used as a last resort. It can burn or deform anything. However, you can use it on a concrete surface by diluting its concentration. Make sure that you are wearing gloves, a mask, and eye protectors to avoid damage. Following these steps to clean concrete surface with muriatic acid: Add 1 cup of muriatic acid in 8 cups of water. This will make it perfectly dilute. The one-to-eight ratio is great but make sure that you add water to the container first. Apply the dilute muriatic acid solution on the spray paint and cover it entirely. Let it sit for a minute or two. Use a brush to scrub the layer of paint covering the concrete surface. Must wash the remaining muriatic acid solution with water. It might be diluted but it is still dangerous. Lacquer thinner Lacquers are chemical compounds that are made of plant derivatives. These compounds are used in various paints to make them adhesive and difficult to remove. There are thinners available on the market that dissolve all sorts of plastic, pigments, and plant derivatives. There are some spray paints that have lacquers to make them more resistant. If other methods do not work then try lacquer thinner. The method is as under: Scrub the paint from the concrete using a bristle brush. Spray the lacquer thinner on the spray paint. Let it rest for a few minutes. Scrub the softened spray paint. Wash concrete with water and soap solution. Small tips to consider before proceeding Before going ahead with opting for and applying a spray removal procedure, you should consider the following things: Do not use a sandblaster even if it is recommended by any DIY website. It can damage the concrete surface. Do not use bleach to decolorize the spray paint. While it decolors the paint pigments, there are salt stains left behind on the concrete surface. Avoid the use of muriatic acid as much as possible. Make sure that you have worn all sorts of protective accessories to avoid damage. Read and understand what a method brings. Understand how it works and pay attention to the pros and cons of each method used. Cheaper methods will usually be less effective. Conclusion Spray paints are abundantly available and are fairly simple to use. However, their paint result is difficult to remove. Concrete surfaces are even more difficult to wash as there are pores in them. Despite all these problems, there are methods available to solve your problem. The methods mentioned above are the most versatile way to remove the spray paint from the concrete surface. These methods vary when it comes to budget-friendliness, effectiveness, simplicity, and safety. You should look at your pocket to select the most beneficial method that will let you solve the problem with your current budget.

Sometimes, your fridge starts making noise that will annoy you like no other thing in the world. Imagine enjoying dinner with your family or lying in bed with loud rattling noises in the background. These rattling noises communicate many things to the user regarding the condition of various fridge components. You must know what the rattling sound means and what you must do to eliminate it. The rattling sound might stop after some time if you are lucky. However, you will mostly experience an even louder sound produced by the fridge when you do not solve it. The louder the sound gets, the more annoyed you will feel. Let us look into the reasons behind the rattling sound that your fridge is producing. Our solution will help you get rid of the problem in the most effective way. Fridge Making Rattling Noise: What Could Be Causing the Rattling Noise? Drip pan Problem Is the rattling sound coming from the bottom of the fridge? If yes, you should relax because the solution to this problem is simple. A rattling sound from the bottom of the fridge means that the drip pan is not placed correctly. The drip pan is usually located at the bottom of the fridge. Its main function is to accumulate the wasted water from the fridge. This water flows directly from the fridge to the drip pan because gravity pulls it there. The drip pan is an important part of your fridge for keeping the interior clean. Solution First, inspect the manual and see where the manufacturer has integrated the drip pan. In almost all cases, it will be at the bottom. Open the drip pan compartment and check the position of the pan. Make sure it is supported well at the bottom and from the sides. You should also ensure that the bottom support is neither bent nor dented. Condenser fan Problem If the rattling sound is heading from the back of the fridge, there is a high chance that the condenser fan is dirty. Most of the newer models do not have condenser fans. However, you will still find it in the older fridges. The condenser fan is usually integrated behind the access panel. Dirt can accumulate on the condenser fan because it is exposed outside. This dirt, if not treated at the proper time, will restrict the motion of the condenser fan and eventually stop it. A problematic condenser fan will have two other symptoms that will make it evident that it is not working. The first indicator of a faulty condenser fan is that the cooling inside your fridge will not be as effective as you would like. The second indicator is that the condenser fan will turn on and off frequently. Solution You need to check the condenser fan to solve this issue. See the user manual to locate the fan. Unplug the fridge from the power source. Remove the access panel if required (this will vary from model to model). Once you have loathed the fan, check if it is dirty. If you find dirt on it, it is better to clean it with a wet cloth and let it dry. Also, check the grommets to make sure that they are not loose. A more important factor is to check if the condenser fan motor is operating. If the motor is stagnant, then you should consider installing a new one or repairing the one that is worn out. Evaporator fan Problem The evaporator fan inside the fridge can also be a reason behind the rattling sound. The evaporator fan is integrated inside the refrigerator to pull all the hot air to the coil and remove it from the food. Rubber grommets in the evaporator fan keep the motor separate from the metallic bracket. The function of this rubber grommet is to reduce the contact between the mentioned components and muffle the vibration. Solution When your fridge produces an unwanted sound, you should check the evaporator fan and see if the grommet is in place. You can do this by reading the manual and finding the evaporator fan compartment inside the fridge. Once you have found the compartment, check if the sound is coming from it. Now unplug the fridge and open the compartment.

Remove the fan cover and check the physical condition of the rubber grommet. A completely worn grommet needs replacement, so you should call a technician. Evaporator fan frozen in some fridges. Reason Depletion of the rubber grommet is not the only thing that can produce sound when it comes to the evaporator fan. Some fridge models are prone to a unique problem. The frost is so high that it reaches the back of the fridge. This then affects the evaporator fan. You will hear noises because the ice will be deposited on the evaporator fan blades. The ice will restrict the motion, but the fan will try and find a way to rotate. Solution You need to find and expose the evaporator fan. If you find ice deposited on the fan, you should unplug the fridge to ensure it melts. If the problem reappears afterward, then you should hire a technician. Ice maker Problem Fridges also make a humming sound when the icemaker is filled with water. An occasional humming sound does not mean that the fridge is malfunctioning. An ice maker requires water inside the tray to produce ice. However, if you hear the humming sound after every 10 to 15 minutes, then there might be some problem inside the ice maker. There can be a problem with the water pressure as well. Inconsistent water flow can also generate loud humming sounds, which can be annoying. Solution To solve this problem, remove the water supply from the ice maker. If you still hear the humming sound, the best thing to do is turn off the fridge. Unplug it from the electricity source to prevent any further damage. Call customer support so that you can find the most appropriate solution to this problem. As for the humming sounds produced by water pressure, you should try and adjust it. The water pipe is connected to the fridge via an inlet valve. Make sure that the inlet valve is at a maximum of 45 degrees. Expansion and contraction of the plastic Reason Popping and snapping sounds are very common in the new models. Most of the components in these models are made of plastic, and the contraction and expansion of these plastic components produce the said sound. These sounds are normally produced when defrosting takes place. During the defrosting process, the temperature increases. The plastic expands with the increase in temperature, so a snap or pop can be heard. Solution The pop and snap sounds fade when the fridges are used. With regular usage, the plastic gets adapted to the environment of your home. However, you should make sure that these sounds are not that high. If the sound gets too loud, it is suggested to call customer support to solve this issue. The air vent issue Problem Vent issue is the most common thing that you will face. People tend to stuff their fridges with all sorts of foods. To make room for various items, you must know that the fridge has its capacity. Inside a fridge, you should ensure that the food items are not placed too close to the walls, especially the back of the fridge. If the food items are not placed properly, the vent airflow is restricted. Solution One of the easiest and most appropriate solutions to this problem is that the food items should not be placed at the extreme back of the fridge. Sufficient space should be maintained between each food item. These mistakes, if not avoided, can cause bigger issues. Temperature and door issues Problem Several noises can be produced due to either high temperatures inside the fridge or issues with the door. When the door is properly closed, but the temperature is too high inside the fridge (for whatever reason), the system will generate a beeping sound and flash several signs on the screen. The fridge will try to show that the temperature is not cold enough and the food might spoil sooner or later. A problematic fridge door can also be why your fridge is making a beeping sound or flashing several lights. If the door does not close properly, the system generates these alerts to inform you that the door should be closed.

Another fault can be in the hinges, which might be too new or old. The door will produce a squeaking sound that can be annoying. Solution You should ensure the temperature is set at a sufficiently low level. If there is any cooling issue in the fridge, you should hire a technician to diagnose and solve it. Furthermore, you can check the door installation. You should also lubricate the hinges from time to time. However, if the fridge is new, you should wait a week or two because the squeaking sound will diminish upon usage. The defrost timer Problem Fridges run on two alternate cycles that follow one another infinitely. First, the fridge runs a cooling cycle that lowers the temperature. A defrosting cycle is run to prevent the temperature from going any further. However, when the defrost timer is faulty, the cooling cycle goes on without interruption. This will cause excessive cooling, accumulating ice on the evaporator's coils. The airflow from the fridge compartment to the evaporator gets restricted, hence producing a humming sound. The same issue causes ice to get deposited on the evaporator fan blades (as discussed earlier). Solution The best solution to this problem is to replace the defrost timer. Moreover, you should also check the fuse of your fridge because the excessive load on the evaporator fan might have damaged the fuse. Conclusion This article's purpose is to inform you about why a fridge produces noise and how to reduce these sounds. However, we have learned in this article that sounds such as humming, popping, and snapping are not always bad. These sounds can be a routine thing that might indicate a phase that the fridge is going through. A fridge has various fans and motors installed inside of it. This is why you should not expect it to be quiet every time. However, if the sound gets louder and louder, we advise you to take prompt action to ensure the least damage is done. Call a technician as soon as possible because the sooner you call, the lesser your loss will be. Also, make sure that you avail of any warranty the manufacturer has provided you at the time of the purchase.

Are you facing problems with your GE refrigerator motherboard? Well, the control panel is technically the motherboard as it is a circuit that has all the right connections to make your fridge work. GE refrigerators are one of the most reputed brands in the industry so you cannot expect them to build a problematic appliance. However, it is all upon your usage pattern. Electric appliances are prone to malfunctions. There is no definite time period or reason behind a specific problem. If the display of your fridge or any other component is not working then there can be a problem with the control panel. There are two control panels in the fridge. The main control panel is located at the back of the fridge while there is a secondary control panel called the dispenser control panel (located beside the dispenser). All the components in your fridge are connected to these control panels. A problem in your fridge will have some connection with the control panel which is why you should know how to reset it. How to reset the GE refrigerator motherboard? Control panel/control board reset The control panel reset is one of the most common fixes to malfunctions. The basic reset is pretty simple to perform. The procedure is as under: Unplug the refrigerator from the power source. If the power cable is not easily accessible then turn off the circuit breaker to make sure that the fridge is not connected to a power supply. Let the fridge rest for around 30 to 60 seconds. This will allow the fridge to erase the temporary memory. All the temporary glitches will be removed and the control panel will be reset to the default settings. Replug the refrigerator back into the power source. The reset is now complete and you will need other things to do. The voltage check Control board at the back If the touch panel is not responding and there is no light depicting a dead control panel then you should check the voltage supply. The main control board is located at the back of the refrigerator. Check the bottom right of the back of your fridge. Unscrew the lid fixed at the back. Bring your multimeter and connect it to the control board to check the input and output voltage. Make sure that the voltage is between 12 and 14. A low voltage would mean that the board is not producing enough voltage. Broad below the display Once you have checked and confirmed that the rear board is fine. The next thing to check is the board under the digital display. Grab the control panel by placing three fingers of both hands below it. Pull the control panel from the bottom and the circuit will come out. See the wire connections on the back of the panel to ensure that all the wires are connected properly. Connect a multimeter to the board to check the voltage. The voltage must be between 12 and 14 volts. Once you have checked it, proceed to the ice maker. You will find a shutdown button inside the ice maker. Turn it on and off three times consecutively. This will complete the whole procedure. Why does a GE refrigerator control panel malfunction? Knowing the solution to a problem is always satisfying. However, one must understand what the problem is. The GE refrigerator control panel might have the following issues: Glitches The glitches are one of the most common and simple kinds of errors that you will come across. GE refrigerators are electric appliances, they have components that are prone to malfunction from time to time. A glitch does not mean that the control panel is faulty. It depicts that the panel is going through a small operating inconsistency. This can be resolved by simply unplugging the fridge and performing a control panel reset. No power supply Another reason why your control panel is unresponsive can be the inconsistent or no power supply at all. This happens when the electricity voltage is not what the fridge needs. A power supply cut-off will stop your GE refrigerator from performing certain basic functions like water dispensing.

Demo mode The demo is not a problem but rather a mode integrated by the manufacturer. The demo mode is tailor-made for a showroom display. In this mode, all the lights turn on and other functions are turned off. This feature is also very handy whilst repairing the refrigerator. When the demo mode is turned on, you are unable to render commands to the control panel. All the functions are disabled so you might confuse the demo mode with a control panel malfunction. The "showroom mode" displayed on the control panel screen is a clear indicator that your appliance is in demo mode. Control board malfunction (dispenser) There is a control board with the dispenser. You interact with it every day because it is located under the display. This control board is an electric circuit that is vulnerable to malfunctions and short circuits. These issues can render the whole board useless and unresponsive. On the contrary, the board might be partially unresponsive. In this case, a few buttons will work while others will be dead. Apart from the electric malfunction, the dispenser control panel might be depreciated due to long usage. Main control board Like the dispenser control board, the main control board is also an electric circuit that has all the necessary components connected to it. You should make sure that you check this board in the end. A fault in the main control board can influence the whole fridge. The reset did not solve the problem Did the reset not solve the problem that you face with your control board? Well, there are other things that you can try. These solutions are summarized as under: Check the power cable as a worn-out power cord can be the reason why the control board is not working. Change the power cable to ensure an uninterrupted flow of electricity. Perform a voltage check on both control boards to check if the electric current is normal. Interrupted or fluctuating electric current will usually cause the control panel to misbehave. Try exiting the demo mode. The method varies from model to model. Check your user manual or search the internet for finding the right procedure. If the dispenser control panel is not working and you have tried everything then go with replacing the dispenser control panel. If the dispenser control panel is not faulty and everything else is fine then go for the main control panel replacement. The wiring in the fridge door serves as the connection between the dispenser control board and the main control board. If both the boards are fine but still there is a disconnection between the both then inspect the door wiring. Conclusion The motherboard or the control board is considered the brain of a refrigerator. It is an electric board that is connected to all the components. This board transmits signals to the components so that they can operate as required. All the minor problems such as small error codes and uncharacterized functionality can be handled by merely resetting the control board. The resetting procedure is pretty simple as we have mentioned above. For other issues that do not get resolved with a reset, you should try and find other solutions that are more effective. However, your understanding is a critical thing. If you do not understand the problem or the solution then you should consider calling a professional technician.

The GE washers have made a name due to their reliability and value-addition. These washers have simple yet durable components like the same old-school agitator. However, being durable does not mean that a component will not break down. Has your agitator stopped spinning? Well, it is not a new thing since agitators are prone to such issues. The problem has one simple solution i.e. remove the agitator to diagnose it. There is another problem that you need to solve first. How to remove the GE washer agitator? GE washers are manufactured in different forms and shapes. There are several kinds of agitators fixed inside these washers. You should first ascertain the type of agitator and then ensure that you remove it properly. All these questions are answered below so scroll to know more. How To Remove Agitator From GE Washer? Removing the agitator that has a bolt Unplug your GE washer Unplug your GE washer from the electricity source. This is an essential step to keep you safe during the agitator removal process. We know that you do not want to experience an electric shock. Unplugging the GE washer ensures that you do not suffer an injury when the power button is accidentally pressed. If you cannot access the power outlet then it is better to turn off the circuit breaker. Remove the cap of the agitator Once the GE washer is disconnected from the power source, you can shift your attention to removing the agitator. A single metal bolt agitator will have a metal bolt that is holding it in place. To access it, you should remove the agitator cap which is placed on top of the agitator. Push the agitator cap up with your hands or use a screwdriver for this purpose. Make sure that you do not hurt yourself during the process. Agitator caps are made of plastic so you should also pay attention to the stress that you are putting on them. Glued agitator caps are more vulnerable to breakage. Unscrew the metal bolt After removing the cap, you will have access to a barrel. Check it to identify the single metal bolt that has fixed the agitator to the GE washer. Use a ratchet to unscrew the metal screw. The screw can be of different shapes in each model of the GE washer. Select the most appropriate screwdriver to unscrew. The agitator will come out easily once the unscrewing is complete. You need to pull the agitator out. However, if it is stuck then there might be some debris stuck at the base. Put the agitator back Once you have completed the removal process, the next step is when you have to put it back in place. Fix the agitator to the base and put the metal nut where it is required to be fixed. Tighten the screw to ensure everything is perfectly in place. Put the agitator cap back on the barrel and push it to fix. Operate the washer Plug the GE washer back into the power outlet. See if the agitator is spinning properly. If there is still some problem with the agitator then you should call a technician. Removing the agitator that has no bolt Unplug the GE washer Unplug the GE washer from the power source. If you cannot unplug then turn the circuit breaker off. This is to ensure that you do not experience an electric shock. An accidental press of the power button can turn on the machine. This can cause serious injury so you should be cautious. Open the lid The older GE washer models have no bolts on the agitator. This means that you do not need any tool to unscrew it from the base. After knowing this, open the lid of your GE washer. There is no cap on the agitator so you should proceed with removing the agitator. Remove the agitator Since there is no screw holding the agitator, you should pull it directly. Stabilize your lower body by bending your front leg slightly. Grab the agitator tightly and pull it up. Keep applying the force upward and continue increasing it. Make sure that you do not twist or bend it while trying to get it off the shaft at the bottom. If the agitator does not come off then it is a clear indication that it is stuck. You should then try other methods to remove it.

Take care of the shaft A shaft is present under the agitator so that it can spin. This shaft needs proper lubrication and cares to make sure that it does not impair due to friction. Since you have removed the agitator and the shaft is exposed. Utilize this opportunity by lubricating the shaft. Apply either grease or petroleum jelly to it. This will help you avoid agitator and shaft issues in the future. Call a technician Having no bolt does not usually mean that the agitator will come out easily. In some models, it is really hard to remove. You should call a professional technician to help you with this. There is a specific technique to pull it upwards or the agitator might need a tool to pull it out. Whatever the case, you should call a professional to help you with getting it off. Spending a few is better than purchasing a new agitator. The GE washer agitator is stuck The agitator of your GE washer can be stuck inside the washing machine simply because of the debris. Due to years of usage, the soap and detergents sit down at the base. This then makes it difficult to pull the agitator out. In this section, we will explain an old-school method to get the stuck agitator out. Submerge the base in hot water Pour hot water into the GE washer to cover the base. You do not need to initiate a wash cycle as the water is used to dissolve the detergent and soap sitting at the base. Loosening up the debris will make the process a lot easier. Physical force is of use but why use the force when you can hit it chemically? Tie a rope around the agitator Take a tough rope that is at least two meters long. Fold the rope half in half. Make a loop at the end and tie the loop around the base of the agitator. Make sure that the rope fits well under the bottom fin of the agitator. Pull it up to tighten it more. Tightening the rope is a critical thing to do since this will provide you with a firm grip later on. Tie loops around a thick plank Get a thick plank that is at least five to six feet long. Place the plank on the GE washer with both ends on the sides of the washer. Put the two ends of the rope over the wooden plank and tie it firmly to make sure that there is a firm connection. Lift the plank Grab one end of the plank and lift it up. Keep lifting the plank from the selected end and the agitator will ultimately rise from the base. This will require immense pressure so make sure that you are mentally and physically ready to apply it. Precaution Make sure that the agitator is not bolted to the base. This method includes applying physical force to pull out the agitator. Pulling out a bolted agitator forcefully can damage either the agitator or the interior of your GE washer. Tie all the knots firmly so that the plank does not slip. If you cannot lift the agitator after applying force, call a technician to get it done. Why is my GE washer agitator not working? Debris or object blocking it A problem that you will often face with your agitator is an object getting stuck in it. This object can be anything. It can be a piece of clothing, thin fabrics, or stuff falling from the pocket. Check the base of the agitator to find anything that is stuck. If you cannot find anything then you should remove the agitator to inspect it thoroughly. Problematic lid switch There is a lid switch installed right under the lid. When pressed, this switch sends a signal to the motor which then starts operating. A fault in this switch will mean that the agitator will misbehave. A problematic lid switch should be checked with a multimeter. You should press it with your fingers to see if it moves properly. A fault in the lid switch can be repaired by calling a technician. Faulty belt There is a belt that connects the motor and shaft. This belt ensures that the shaft rotates when your motor is functioning. It tends to get loose when used regularly. If the belt is loose then it is understood that it will find it hard to grip the motor and shaft. This will stop the shaft from rotating even if the motor is running.

When you find out that the belt is loose, you should find a way to tighten it up. However, the best thing to do is to replace the belt. Call the technician to help you with a replacement. Bad motor If you find no fault in anything and still your agitator does not work, then there is a high chance that the motor is bad. A faulty motor cannot generate enough power for the agitator to spin. You should call a technician and ask him to replace the motor or repair it, if possible. Conclusion Agitators are a critical part of top load washers. The same is true for GE washers. An agitator is normally a very durable component since it is positioned with stability. They are fixed firmly to the machine. However, tightly fixed components have one big problem. You will have trouble removing them. No matter whether your GE washer agitator is fixed with or without a metal bolt, we have explained the method to remove both from the washer. The methods that we have explained in our article require care. You should make sure that you understand everything that we have explained. Also, it is better to call a technician for help if you do not know what to do.
